Hey all I'm new to the forum and have a couple questions... I purchased my boat last July and it's been a little pain in the rear!
only spent 2k on it so wasnt too bad but should have known that you get what you pay for! anyways blew the top end of my alpha I almost instantly then fixed that and blew the 305 about a month later.
Took it out this year and the first outting blew the bottom unit of the outdrive... lol no luck but know that everything is fixed I've been good to go!!!
Destroyed my aluminum prop this weekend so in the market for a new one. Thinking about going stainless but need to figure if I'm running the right pitch..
WOT I'm running about 35MPH @ 3800 RPMs.. Should I drop to a 17pitch or stay at 19?
Thanks for any help will post pics soon!!
